Kristie Etheridge???
Hi Christine!! I haven't talked to Kristie in a while either but I think she is doing great...she works with my cousin and he keeps me informed with her weight loss....she's probably just busy getting skinny....lol.....I'm gonna show my age here but I have known her since she was born.....We're both from Collinsville; small town so you know everybody......Anyway, just wanted to let you know that as far as i know, she's doing good.....We need to tell her to post more often so we'll know how her weight loss is going......
Hey ya'll!
I'm soooo sorry I've been such a bad friend and supporter. My friends and family are fussing at me too, because I've become somewhat of a recluse the past few months. Im just TIRED from working all the time. I've been working about 60 hours a week and it's killing me! I work full time at a very stressful job counseling troubled kids all day long and then I work part time at night at a tanning salon working with troubled adults, LOL. I talk all day long and have to be nice and cordial at night, so when I get home or on my days off, I usually don't want to talk to anybody at all, lol. But I will try to do a little better.
As for my progress. I am down 80 lbs in 6 months and I feel GREAT! I know this sounds crazy, but even though I have lost 80 lbs, I still feel like the same person. I guess that's the psychological part of it that messes with your mind, lol. I feel like 80 lbs isn't very much to have lost in 6 months compared to other people. Anyway, I am feeling good and getting outdoors more on the weekends.
I want ya'll to know that even though I haven't posted much, I do still think about all of you and I read the message board about 2 or 3 times a week to try to keep up with all of you! I will try harder to post more.
I love all of ya'll! Thanks for being concerned about me!

Kristie,
glad to see you're doing okay, hey, 80 lbs in six months, you're doing great !! Some of us are slower and don't have as much to lose as others, you do it at your pace and as long as your scale moves downwards, you're JUST FINE!! I'm at almost 9 months post op and I'm at 94 lbs since surgery, so you see, I'm not a dramatic loser either. Keep up the good work and it will happen, just give it time and follow the rules, girl, and .......
........................... SHOW UP MORE OFTEN! We like to hear from everyone, to make sure things are going okay.
Take care and God bless !

I am glad you came and posted. I really have been thinking of you. You are doing so well and I bet you feel amazing. I know you have a stressful job and I dont envy you at all. You have to be a special kind of person who can handle that and I am not one of those folks. I came to the last Meridian meeting - I had hoped you would be there. Its been a long time.
Please come post more often. Take care of yourself and keep up the good work. Stop being a recluse and let me tan for free... haha--- I did that mystic tan last summer--cost me almost 30.00 and I had streaks. I went back 3 times. She had to bleach me in certain spots. The other spots looked great though! Havent tried again this year... but maybe.
See ya later

Hey girl!! I know the job you do. Hang in there, and don't let it swallow you up. You don't know how helpful you phonecalls were, and the honest feedback about what to expect. I think that is a large part of the reason I feel as positive as I do at this point.
As good of a suporter as you are, you have to remember that you DO have to TAKE as well as give. You deserve the support from here and elsewhere!
Hang in there, and I think 80 pounds is GREAT!
